'''''Phegopteris''''' is a [[genus]] of [[fern]]s in the family [[Thelypteridaceae]], subfamily Phegopteridoideae, in the [[Pteridophyte Phylogeny Group]] classification of 2016 (PPG I).<ref name=PPGI/> They are known collectively as the '''beech ferns'''. Species are native to Asia, North America and Europe.<ref name=CFLW/>

==Taxonomy==
''Phegopteris'' was first described in 1852 by [[Carl Borivoj Presl]] as an unranked taxon within the genus ''[[Polypodium]]''. It was raised to the rank of genus by [[Antoine Laurent Apollinaire Fée|Antoine Fée]] in the same year.<ref name="IPNI_30000947-2">{{citation |title=''Phegopteris'' (C.Presl) Fée |work=[[International Plant Names Index|The International Plant Names Index]] |url=https://www.ipni.org/n/30000947-2 |access-date=2020-01-11 }}</ref>

The [[Pteridophyte Phylogeny Group]] classification of 2016 (PPG I) recognizes three genera in the subfamily Phegopteridoideae: ''[[Macrothelypteris]]'', ''Phegopteris'' and ''Pseudophegopteris''.<ref name=PPGI/> {{As of|2020|January}}, both the ''Checklist of Ferns and Lycophytes of the World'' and ''[[Plants of the World Online]]'' regarded ''Pseudophegopteris'' as a synonym of ''Phegopteris''.<ref name=CFLW/><ref name=POWO_30000947-2/>
